The vehicle is currently roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 18 November 2022 at 213,986 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the previous test on the same day also passed. No faults have been logged in any of the four recorded checks, indicating a stable maintenance trend and no emerging mechanical or structural issues. Mileage growth is consistent with the car’s age. From 16 September 2021 at 208,599 miles to 17 September 2021 at 208,608 miles the increase was a mere nine miles in one day, confirming the vehicle was driven between tests. The jump to 213,986 miles by 18 November 2022 represents 5,378 miles over roughly 14 months, or about 384 miles per month. This rate aligns with the average annual usage of 11,262 miles and shows no sudden spikes or gaps that would suggest periods of neglect or excessive use. A prospective buyer should still verify the usual wear items that are not captured in the MOT record. Inspect the brake system—discs, calipers, and pads—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. Check the suspension bushings and coil springs for cracking or oil leakage. Examine the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment issues. Verify that the steering column, rack and pinion, and wheel bearings are free of play. Look for any surface rust or structural corrosion on the chassis and body panels, especially around the wheel arches and underbody. Finally, confirm that the engine oil, coolant, and battery are in good condition, as these consumables are critical for ongoing reliability.
